When did Toyota call the Matrix the Corolla Matrix?

so is it only going to come with the 130-hp motor? that sucks if they got rid of the 180-hp option because thats what the XRS was.

what do i care? that car still sucks anyway.

The XRS is going away because it does not meet the new emission standards. The AWD Matrix sells well up here in the Northeast.

Probably because cramming a V6 in there is next impossible. It's Camry btw...

Why would they think about putting the V6 in a Matrix? It would be cool! I don't even think the 2.4 4 cyl would fit either.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be cool -I'm just saying that having .002" of clearance around the engine wouldnt' be.

I was saying it would be cool to put a v6 in a Matrix. 002" wouldn't be cool.

The Matrix has always been the Corolla Matrix. Toyota counts Matrix sales under 'Corolla' sales

I like the look of the Vibe a little better but I'm not crazy about either. But the interior is what turned me away. It looks too much like a minivan with the shifter sticking out of the dash. I like having a center console.

...and the driving position is minivan esk. That's what I love about the P5, it's much lower. I do dig the new blue paint.
